National FFA Week is a time for FFA members to host activities that raise awareness about the role FFA plays in the development of agriculture’s future leaders and the importance of agricultural education. National FFA Week always runs Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb.22,which is George Washington’s birthday. It is a great time for educators and students to advocate for agriculture all week long with activities, social media, and showing what is available throughout the FFA.
